I know there have been lots of threads on this topic. I'm particularly interested in hearing from fellow trainers. I have a student who is an excellent rider, but is just not getting the body...

consider the curb with a rotating mouthpiece. very good starting bit. the horse can put it where he wants it. You would not stay in it for too long, so see if you can borrow or buy used - or sell...

Just a LITTLE BIT confusing! Good Lord! :eek::lol:

Agree 100%!!!!

Negativity because . . . those who can't ride, post.:D. I have on my flame suit. bring it! I won't be here to read it. I'm going to ride.

the ones we had had the textured leather. I don't know the model. i think they were fairly 4 years or so. I remember having the impression it was a new model then.

we have often liked them better than some onf our more expensive saddles when clients have brought them in with their horses. They run pretty standard. I have had narrow, medium and wide tree...

I have ascertained that the horse had just been a crap and dumped its scheduled rider in the warm up. the trainer hopped on as she had just finished a test. She went into the ring on the horse...

I saw this recently @ a RATED show. WTF? is that legal?

there's an italian company - I think gelee fish that makes a bunch of different pads. Also, The Coffin leather pads can really help fit as a short term fix.

my farrier squeezes a blue gel into his hooves. It hardems like a pad and nothing gets underneath. His hooves have no issues when i pull them in the spring. Have no trouble with it making it...

We found a never worn Pikeur for $300 on consignment! Yea us!!!

i've seen a couple of good brands the last few days -speak to quality or size.

i like the camel's flatwork better than the other pair

I have a client looking. i have never seen any of the more moderately priced up close. She is broad-shouldered, long, narrow waisted. Any reco's on one that looks top quality and holds up to lots...

I have heard the moment of suspension described as the 4th beat.

if they truly don't care - they won't respond, but won't be mad. I used to retrain a number of ex-racers for other careers. I often would follow up with past owners / trainers. They were always...

I have the same mountain lines the other poster referenced. I agree and love them . . . . at the walk. I hate the lungeline types. I don't like the feel and find they get stuck on horse and in...

I've had good luck with used bits on ebay. your trainer should be able to tell you what bits he'd like - or even let you use something he has already. I think it's worth the investment for a...

4 months from hunter flatwork to a double bridle is very concerning for me - Regardless of horse and trainer talent. There is muscle and strength development needed that just doesn't happen that...

I still love a nice TB!!!

I would love any photos or descriptions of how you set up your surcingle, long reins, side reins if you use them for long reining. And why you've made those particular choices. I'm an FEI level...

I don't normally have youngsters. This spring I'll have 2 coming yearling geldings @ my farm. (Both @ different locations now). Should I turn them out alone together? That would be easiest for...

thanks. Does anyone have an idea of what I should plan to spend? It's exactly in the middle of the coast to coast trip.

Folks I'm considering a cute baby from the NW. He would be going to Iowa right off of rt 80. Any reco's on a very reasonably priced shipper that accomodates a baby well? I am a little worried to...

One of the horses I ride is an 18 hand warmblood - and I'm tiny. He did the same thing. At the lower levels with this horse it was not an issue. As I got him more sensitive and worked on...
